"I have worked with Alzheimer's and dementia patients a great deal over the last several years. It is very unfortunate to see the changes that dementia and its related illnesses cause patients to experience. I have learned that planning activities for patients with Alzheimer's or dementia often requires arranging for less tedious skills and activities that require less time."

Activities Aides work with a wide variety of patients. Those who work in long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes, may be assigned to work with patients who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia. Activities for these patients often requires planning separate from that of the general patient population. The interviewer is trying to see if you have an understanding of how to handle activities with these patients.

"I do have experience working with Alzheimer's patients. I used to work on an Alzheimer's ward in a nursing home. I was responsible for planning activities for the patients based on their level of understanding and abilities to participate."
